Outputs

Learn to add parametric elements that represent calculation results in the document

We explained Parametric equations earlier, which define a math source and represent the result on the document. On the other hand, if you want to represent result of existing calculations, you can use Outputs. Various types of Outputs are explained below.

Single values

Single-value outputs can represent non-tabular calculation results on the document. List of such data types is explained on Parameters.

Coming soon!

Single-value outputs are among next items on our roadmap. Please follow our product roadmap items and status here and let us know what you think!

Meanwhile, you can use Parametric equations to represent various calculation results. Explore our Templates to see the possibilities in action!

Tables

Tables represent calculation results that are tabular. Python and Spreadsheet sources can produce such tabular results.

Python tables

If a Python parameter is defined by an array of arrays variable in your script, you can represent it as tabular output on the document. For example:

my_table = [[1,'apple'],['cat', 3.14]]

Spreadsheet tables

If a Spreadsheet parameter is defined by a range of cells in your spreadsheet source, you can represent it as tabular output on the document. For example:

Charts

You can represent tabular calculation results as parametric charts on the document. You can use CalcTree's interactive charts, Python figures, or Spreadsheet figures to represent tabular results.

CalcTree interactive charts

You can use CalcTree interactive charts to represent tabular data on the document.

Coming soon!

Interactive are among next items on our roadmap. Please follow our product roadmap items and status here and let us know what you think!

Meanwhile, you can use Python and Spreadsheet figures to represent various tabular calculation results. Continue reading below!

Python figures

You can generate figures out of Python sources. You can add these to your document as parametric elements that update when the calculation runs. For example:

Spreadsheet figures

You can generate figures out of Spreadsheet sources. You can add these to your document as parametric elements that update when the calculation runs. For example:

This concludes various output elements you can add to your parametric document on CalcTree.
